Re: [platform-swt-dev] JavaDoc for SWT by itself?

[Carolyn MacLeod <Carolyn_MacLeod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks - the "Online Javadoc"
link on the SWT page was old and broken, and it was being redirected to
a useless place. I have updated it.

I also created a new page that "cheats"
and points directly to the SWT packge javadoc generated for Eclipse. I
realize that this is not what you asked for, but it is all I have time
for at the moment.
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/javadoc.php
(looks ok in FF but not too good in
IE... anyone good at html tables, please let me know what's missing...
<g>)

Please open a bug to have "real"
SWT-only online javadoc.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=SWT&bug_severity=enhancement

Thanks!
Carolyn

That reminds me of the good old days in the Linux world. You wanted a
binary? Yeah, let's get the sources and compile them. Fortunately, we
changed century a few years back :)

The point is that wherever I am when I have a question about an SWT
class, I should:
- Google "SWT"
- Click the link for the SWT page (the first one), then click "Online
Javadoc" on that page.
- Find the class of interest.

Try this sequence right now, just to see what I mean.

Cheers,
-Christopher
